If 2021 was year of The Chad, let 2022 be year of the Dyl!All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Had day off work so had a look at training. Started around 9am and finished around 1030am.
I think there was about 18 players in the main group. I think Parker Papley, Hickey, Cunningham, COR, Melican, Florent, Hayward, Rowbottom, Ronke, Sheather, Campbell, McAndrew, Stephens, Wicks, Mcinerney, Gould and maybe Gulden.
McLean, McCartin, Amartey, Clarke and Blakey were doing lighter stuff to the side. Blakey was doing a lot of straight line running, kicking the ball back and forth and taking a few marks on the run.
Naismith with his dog came by to watch the session from the boundary. I think I saw P. McCartin as well on the boundary.Comment

- Started with a warmup. Split into 4 groups and ran around a square to 4 stations. Things like stepping over mini hurdles or weaving between poles.
- Kicking back and forth in 3s.
- 3 skill stations. (Quick flat handballs across the body to a player running next to them, kicking drill within defensive 50 and contested marking practice from high long balls.)
- Handball drill. Attacking team tries to handball their way past defensive team in a tight congested space.
- Another handball drill. Cox hurls the ball away, attacking team picks it up and handballs past the defensive team. Maybe simulating a defender picking up a loose ball and using the extra numbers to stay composed and keep possession with handballs.
- Ball movement drill. Attacking team set up with 4 backs 3 mids and 4 forwards vs a few coaches as opposition. Practiced moving the ball upfield with kicks. With a focus on the players upfield creating options by making angled runs into space and the players behind making supporting runs from deep.
- Ball movement/rebound drill. Ball starts from a kick in at the goal square. Work the ball upfield for a little bit with a few kicks, then kick it long to a ruckman on halfway who knocks it down. Then the team quickly attacks in the opposite direction. Maybe this simulates quickly attacking from a turnover.
- Did a 3min run around the boundary about 2 laps. Brief rest then run a few shuttles back and forth. Then a few players did another 3min run around the boundary. McAndrew did some 1 on 1 ruck work with Cox whilst this was happening.Last edited by SeanM; 24 November 2021, 11:53 AM.Comment

I put this up not to reopen 'the debate' but just to say I expect big things from RB next season.....fully fit.

Was at training briefly this morning by coincidence.
In the short time I was there it was noticeable how much Gulden, Stephens, Gould and Campbell have bulked up.
Gould is a weapon who would get away with stealing Buddy’s lunch money.
Parker, Papley and Reid were there which I’d guess is ahead of their required training date.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Hows about laying off him until the season actually starts, TB?? A fair few of us have not included him in the best 22 for next season. There is a chance the coaches will think along the same lines. He may not be in the team, then you wouldn't have to worry.. Or if he is in the team, if he's the player you think he is, he will be out of the team again very quickly. Things will sort themselves out!! Let them unfold. This is the pre-season. It is a time of excitement and wondering what these young cygnets can do. Please leave the negativity at the door until a situation arises that might call for it, like a bad loss or a bad individual performance..
